We again enjoyed the help of the Durham University Conservation Volunteers, along with the more dubious help of Spark the dog.
Today’s task needed the extra muscle-power as it entailed (no pun intended) the filling-in of large hole in the steep bank of Pelaw Beck, made by diggers searching for antique bottles.
It’s important this work was carried out as the holes were deep and dangerous, and they risked a catastrophic and expensive landslip of the spoil heap into Pelaw Beck below.
Many hands made light work; our thanks are due once more to the Conservation Volunteers of Durham University.
We also found time for some litter-picking and gravelling of muddy paths.
